Petrological constraints on evolution of continental lithospheric mantle beneath the northwestern Ethiopian plateau: Insight from mantle xenoliths from the Gundeweyn area, East Gojam, Ethiopia
文摘

Partial melting and metasomatism are the major processes affecting CLM of Ethiopian plateau.

Gundeweyn mantle xenoliths record high mantle heat flow between 60 and 150 mW/m2.

A high geotherm shows presence of active mantle upwelling under Ethiopia plateau.

Plateau lithosphere is product of interaction between melt with depleted lithosphere.

The interaction is probably related to mantle upwelling focused beneath EARS.
